Augmented Assembly - Increasing efficiency in assembly work with Augmented Reality

Customer specific and individualised products, small batch sizes, as well as increasing product complexity set higher demands for assembly work. Augmented Assembly is a research project at VTT, where AR technology is applied to increase assembly efficiency. In augmenting assembly work, the assembly worker is guided by virtual objects of components and assembly tools, and visual assembly instructions. The worker sees the augmented view through light weight head mounted devices (e.g. data glasses),and sensors provide feedback from the
performed operations.

Good video, I can really see AR being used to help people do all sorts of tasks.

I also disagree with the below. I think any task repeated enough will be learnt...I think its hard to avoid it.

My practical experience is that until I was using a navigation system, I wasn't learning the path and the road, but I was just following passively the navigation system's instructions.

It's definitely a good tool, but probably with this AR training it could happen the same.

Anyway it's a good step in bringing the AR out of the commercial marketing field and put it in practical and useful applications.
